Summary

Kin'emon is told that the uprising's secret crest has somehow gotten out, and Orochi's troops spread out to round up anyone wearing the reversed crescent moon inked on the ankle. Inside the ring, Luffy squares off with Bearman, a bear SMILE user whose hardened body absorbs his blows without injury. Once more Luffy wraps his fist in Armament Haki and slams it into the chest, knocking Bearman down and ending the bout. All across the Flower Capital, the populace mourns what they assume is Komurasaki's death, and no one is hit harder than Orochi, who sobs without holding back at the loss of the woman he adored.

Key Events

Kyoshiro holds that the killing could not be avoided, that wrecking Orochi's heart had been the entire goal, and he produces a rebellion flyer tucked inside his garments. Across in Ebisu Town, a beating greets the bathhouse party on their return for barging in. Shinobu turns on the group, certain they have imperiled the whole scheme, and pins the leak on Bepo for handing the symbol to Orochi's men. Kanjuro pleads with her to quit assigning blame, since the operation collapses without every member, and Tonoyasu shows up to announce that the crest now covers the capital. Back at the bridge, Zoro carries on his duel against Hitokiri Kamazo.

Notes

Momentarily Kamazo seizes the edge and buries his scythe in Zoro's shoulder, but the blade jams there, handing Zoro a third weapon to swing. Drawing on Three Sword Style, he slices Kamazo down and leaves him unconscious in the snow. Unwilling to risk a bout with Zoro, Gyukimaru elects to leave with his collection, and Zoro then buckles from his own wound. This is the last entry to launch with OVER THE TOP. Scenes added for the broadcast take in the Bearman fight, Yasuie discovering Kin'emon's hidden note, Orochi grieving Komurasaki as an aide explains the leaked message, and a lengthened Zoro and Kamazo exchange.
